This completes the goodies promised to early adopters of the 3DS.
As suspected, North American 3DS Ambassadors can now download the same GBA games that were announced for other regions. Once this batch of GBA games are downloaded, there will be no further freebies given out to those who purchased a 3DS and connected to the eShop prior to August 12, 2011.
After months of silence we could be getting our remaining Ambassador Program games sooner than later.
Nintendo told us that we’d be getting our GBA Ambassador Program games before the end of the month and today they made it official by announcing the entire GBA lineup as well as when we can download them onto our portable 3D machines.
Nintendo confirms that the remaining 10 GBA titles promised to gamers will be available before year's end.
Back when Nintendo shocked the gaming community by slashing the price of the 3DS from $250 to $170 they announced an initiative called the Ambassador Program to compensate/reward early adopters who had shelled out the higher price when the handheld was released just a short time prior. The program would give members 10 classic titles each from the NES and GBA libraries. The NES classics were delivered with the promise that the GBA titles would be delivered before the year ended. But with December now here and no further news, rumors have suggested that perhaps the titles will slip to 2012 if they ever make it out at all.
Battletoads and Diddy Kong Pilot are now free to download.
RareWare Central is a fan website dedicated to the developer responsible for Banjo-Kazooie, Perfect Dark and more recently, the Kinect Sports series. As such, user Torrentstorm has released beta versions of two unreleased games initially developed for the Game Boy Advance.
